Butterflies?

That is what they tell me! V is "growing" butterflies in his bedroom... it is actually quite interesting! His Uncle and Aunt bought him the "Butterfly Treehouse" for his birthday...
it is pretty neat really... after we got the "treehouse" we sent off for the "butterflies". They came in their own little cup the bottom of which is filled with food... they were little tiny when they got here and they grew really quick! They are now attached to the top of the cup to a thin piece of paper. I've tried to take pictures... not sure if you can tell what they are though!

Here they all are... 3 are in their cacoons and one is hanging getting ready to make his... then the last one is crawling around all the others...
Here is the late bloomer...
Here is the one getting ready to transform into his cacoon

Here is one of the fully formed cacoons... pretty neat! :)
I honestly think I'm just about as excited as V to see them change into butterflies!! =)

That's really cool. K-Girl would probably enjoy that too. Nifty.

And how did I not know you had a blog? Hmmmm. Ah well now I do. :)

LOL - Cari didn't know either... silly girls! :)

K-Girl would LOVE it. V runs to his treehouse every day when we get home to see what has happened! He just loves it! :)
